Description
Vivexotic Medium Repti-Home Arboreal Vivarium for Reptiles
The Medium Vivexotic Repti-Home Arboreal is a high quality affordable vivarium for exotic pets that require a bit more heating. The 15mm wood boards help keep in heat making it easy to provide basking temperatures up to 90 Fahrenheit or higher. Numerous large vents and a pair of glass sliding doors allows for a lot of heat to be lost across the enclosure helping to create a pleasing temperature gradient from one side to the other.

- 86 x 49 x 91.5cm

- Locking screws for easy construction
- Toughened glass
- Plug to secure front doors
- Matching cabinet available

Vivexotic vivariums are flat packed on arrival and can be constructed with a single screw driver. The majority of the enclosure is held using locking screws meaning that the unit can be taken apart and put back together. We estimate that each unit may take 15-20 minutes to build if it's your first time. The 'easy access' vents now supplied allow you to put your heating and lighting equipment through a vent without needing to remove a plug.
Once built, we advise a final finishing touch. This unit has sealed panels on most sides but once constructed we recommend running a pet friendly sealant along the joints to make sure that your vivarium lasts the life of your pet.
To ensure that your pet cannot escape, Vivexotic have started including a simple locking mechanism in each of their vivariums. The front pane of glass has a hole on the right hand side, when this panel is on the left side and the back panel is on the right there will be a small gap to place the plastic plug provided. For additional security Vivexotic also offers a lock to match this unit (sold separately).
We recommend the Medium Vivexotic Repti-Home Arboreal for the following animal types:
- Carpet Pythons
- Green Tree Pythons
- Yemen Chameleons
- Panther Chameleons
- Juvenile Water Dragons
Frequently Asked Questions
What reptiles is the Vivexotic Repti-Home Arboreal Medium suitable for?
This vivarium is specifically recommended for arboreal and climbing species. This includes carpet pythons, green tree pythons, Yemen chameleons, panther chameleons and juvenile water dragons. The 91.5cm height makes it a practical choice for species that spend the majority of their time off the ground and need vertical space to move and climb.
How does the Arboreal Vivarium differ from the standard Repti-Home Medium?
The key difference is height. The Arboreal Medium shares the same 86cm width and 49cm depth as the Maxi Medium but stands at 91.5cm tall, making it purpose-built for species that need vertical living space rather than floor area. It uses the same 15mm wood construction, easy-access vents and locking screw assembly as the rest of the Repti-Home range, so the build process is the same regardless of which model you choose.
How do I route heating and lighting equipment into this vivarium?
The Arboreal Medium uses easy-access vents that allow you to pass heating and lighting equipment through without needing to remove a plug. This makes installation considerably more straightforward once the vivarium is set up and decorated, particularly useful given the height of this enclosure and the equipment placement that arboreal species typically require.
Is the vivarium secure enough to house chameleons and pythons safely?
Yes. The front glass sliding doors include a plastic plug locking mechanism as standard to prevent escapes, and a Vivexotic sliding glass door lock is available separately for additional security. After assembly, running a pet-friendly sealant along the internal joints is also recommended to help the vivarium hold up over time and ensure no gaps develop at the joins.
